Two people have died after a homebuilt airplane crashed into a shed outside the Southern California city of Santa Paula.
The two-seat aircraft went down Saturday afternoon when the weather was clear and sunny, according to Ventura County fire Captain Stan Ziegler.
He said the two people were pronounced dead
when firefighters got to the crash site less than a mile from Santa Paula Airport, reports Daily Mail.
Images show the crumpled wreckage of the aircraft sitting atop the destroyed shed between two pine trees.
Santa Paula is roughly 65 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
